Where does UniNet's bandwidth come from?

 

[Franna]

It seems to me Internet Solutions (IS).

 

[erMaC]

Is that for local, international, or both?

 

[MaD]

Both.. whyyyy?

 

[erMaC]

Uncapped looks attractive

 

[MaD]

lol.. they do call you if you abuse the hell out of it and P2P is basically useless from my experience, but that's not a bad thing cos browsing was brilliantly fast and pings to gaming servers were <30ms

 

[erMaC]

im not a big user, maybe 30 - 50 gigs a month. But Telkom and me have different views of whats big.

 

[MaD]

Dont worry Telkom's views about what's big is totally different to everyone else's. They are the minority in that case. 30GB a month is decent its only 1GB a day. Just streaming radio all day and a few driver downloads would reach that.

Uninet only raises an eyebrow when you saturate the connection 24/7 every day for quite a while.

 

[Clipse]

Uninet run on the UUNET backbone afaik. The ping to mweb.co.za is the same as pinging it from the uunet datacentre in capetown.

 

[kilos]

Clipse seems like Uninet is running on the IS backbone via gin.co.za (Basil Hillier)

Knysna Municipality is running on 5.8 Ghz 802.11a band on MikroTik version 2.9.6
with SSID starting with UNI picked up 6 SSID's in Sedgefield

Picked up this post while googling and felt obliged to add my 2 cents.

Most of UniNet's peering is via IS we also are finalising a smaller telkom peering link to address the perennial IS<->Telkom peering issues. International bandwidth is supplied via satellite backhaul. We also onsell backbone and conenctivity services to GIN who use a small capacity on our IS and Satellite link (not the other way round) to provision to their customers.

As for Knysna, you should be seeing a whole bunch more signals in the 2.4 gig range next week as we turn on all the hotspot interfaces.
